Wimbledon

In an Olympic year, the US Open — considered the toughest test in tennis even under normal circumstances — is essentially the season’s fifth major. That makes for quite a grueling season for the players.

About five hours after Williams won her fifth singles title by beating Agnieszka Radwanska, she and sister Venus were back on Centre Court to beat Czech duo Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka 7-5, 6-4 Saturday in the doubles final.

With Wimbledon underway in London, during his 8:30 update Jerry “Rello” Recco provided some audio from a match between female opponents that… how shall I say… provoked some thoughts about things other than the sport of tennis.

Tennis’ top-ranked man, Rafael Nadal, enjoys playing golf in his free time, and he kept tabs on Rory McIlroy’s record-breaking performance at the US Open. The two met last year in New York, and Nadal has been pulling for McIlroy ever since.
